The babies are so much fun right now.  They are all old enough to really enjoy learning and they have had some fun 'field' trips' to visit some of our favorite puppy socializers.  They are doing great with other dogs and with the kids that love to carry them around.  They are all ready to meet their forever families! 

Caramel 7 weeks

March 28, 2022

This week we moved the babies from Ruby's guardian home over to the Hatch house.  They are transitioning to the dog door very well. They aren't quite fully going outside to go potty but they should have this new skill mastered by the end of the week. Yay for puppies pooping outside!   When we dog-door-train we use their natural instinct to keep their bed clean to encourage them to explore the dog door to go potty outside.  Thankfully we finally have nice spring weather here in Idaho and it's so nice to have puppies playing in the sunshine! We introduce new experiences and new stimulation every day to help develop neuro-flexibility. Their brains are almost fully developed and ready for training--once they hit 7 weeks we will start introducing clicker training so they will start to learn that it pays to figure out what we want them to do!

The babies are almost four weeks old!  We finally have some signs of spring peeking out here in Idaho and the puppies are really enjoying the chance to play outside each afternoon.  They have started potty training with a crate to sleep in and a paper area for potty time.  Dogs instinctively keep their sleeping 'den' clean.  We use this instinct to help with learning to go potty only in specific areas eventually imprinting on outside as the proper place for potty time.  They are just starting to develop control over potty activities and are getting better and better at only using the paper.  They will start using a dog door to go outside this next week. They are all eating solid food and nursing less each day.  They are just getting their little molars in and will be ready to move to hard crunch food in the next week as they nurse less and eat more and more.  They get handling and loving from the kids in the Anderson home every day.  Personalities are starting to develop but we won't really be able to see specific personalities until they are closer to 6 weeks old. 

Ruby has five 'Sweet as candy' babies!  We are still waiting for genetic tests to come back so we will know specifics about coat types and textures. Ruby and her puppies are with their guardian family and our puppy nanny Reann.  They do a great job with the babies.  They are all developing right on schedule and are beloved little bundles.  As always, Ruby is a devoted mama--she keeps her babies warm and clean and quiet.  The kids in Ruby's human family include two special needs kids that are especially nurturing for the little puppies.  All the love and handling helps to develop calm and flexible personalities.  Pictures are on their way!
